<p>Our property taxes are right at $4k in DC suburbs. House is mid-60s split level, 2400 sq. ft. The land is worth more than the house. State income tax is 8%, though…</p>
<p>Costa Rica is nice - friend just moved down there a week ago. He’s sent pictures and described where he is living. He has three young kids, I think that two are starting school. His wife is working teaching English and he’ll be at home during the day doing his web business.</p>
<p>Our son thinks we live in a boring place. We are 30 miles from Manhattan. He doesn’t want to own a car. He and his friends don’t seem to crave a big home or suburbia in the slightest. They like to take trips to Thailand or Costa Rica and go listen to bands and drink a lot of coffee. I don’t think mowing the lawn figures into their plans in the slightest.</p>
